It's a lot like fighting a fire
Using summer wind and kerosene
Heaven won't you rain on me
And when the waves come crashing down on me
Fell like a grain of sand
In the raging sea
It's getting so that I can't breath
And I'm waiting, waiting, waiting
On a World that's never gonna change
And I fell like crying every night
Won't you take away the pain?

But it's on a Bed of Roses
When you lay me down
Hold me in your arms
And it's you and all your glory
You make anywhere we are
Feel like home

Give me shelter from this suffering
Give me peace of mind when
The walls are caving in
When did everything go wrong
When I look around it's all upside down
Empty wells are gonna make us drown
Nobody knows whats going on

Still I'm waiting, waiting, waiting
On a world that's never gonna change
But it's on a Bed of Roses
When you lay me down
Hold me in your arms
And it's you and all your glory
You make anywhere you are
Feel like home

When the world outside
Takes a thousand lives
Babies far from their mama's eyes
What can I do?
But run to you

And it's on a Bed of Roses
When you lay me down
Hold me in your arms
And it's you and all your glory
You make anywhere you are
Feel like home

It's a lot like fighting a fire
Using summer wind and kerosene
Heaven won't you rain on me
